This simple and easy, low cost solution for sensor based lighting/appliance control, is a great way to bring automation into your home. Avoid the frustration of having lights left on in areas like bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms (commonly leaving with your hands full), closets, garages, or any room children frequently enter. Lutron has created an appealing and reliable sensor based in-wall control perfect for those who do not want to fuss with difficult programming, and do not want to worry about which type of bulb will be compatible with their switch. Use this device with incandescent, halogen, CFLs, LEDs, magnetic low voltage, electronic low voltage, and linear fluorescents. This universal compatibility simplifies the selection process while purchasing new bulbs and allows you to use whatever is available if you don't have an extra of your favorite, when it burns out. This feature also allows you to remain worry free when it comes to government regulations on lighting; with this switch, you will be able to use whatever is suggested.

Occupancy and Vacancy sensors save energy by performing two different functions. Occupancy sensors will automatically turn the attached load "On" when motion is detected, and "Off" when the room is no longer occupied; these are capable of being configured for Occupancy or vacancy mode. Vacancy sensors will automatically turn the attached load "Off" when the room is no longer occupied, but the load must be turned "On" manually; these have no other options for operation.

The Clean look and feel of these Maestro Sensors offer seamless integration with all other Maestro controls and easily match existing home themes. The sleek and unobtrusive built-in Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor is very compact, overcoming objections with the typical bulky sensor. Using Lutron's advanced XCT technology, this sensor provides the most reliable On/Off performance up to 30 feet. No one sensor can offer the same percentage of reliability while still providing such a great look. XCT technology will eliminate interference created with background motion, helping to avoid false triggers that will turn the lights 'On" unnecessarily. False triggering of the "On" function is also avoided by Ambient Light Detection. This photo cell feature will override the detection of motion if there is enough ambient light already available. False triggers that can turn the lights "Off" unnecessarily are avoided through Fine Motion Detection. This feature determines whether the room is truly unoccupied by noticing the slightest movements, even while the user is sitting.
